Without a written or video record, the traces of people in this world will quickly disappear. You know something about your mother, and you know something about your grandmother, but do you know about your mother's grandmother or your grandmother's grandmother? Maybe they didn't even leave a photo, let alone a transcript.
If the experiences of ordinary people are not recorded, they are doomed to be buried deeply. Most people either toil for a lifetime, or a life of contentment, or a lifetime of happiness, but when they are gone, no one will remember their stories except their loved ones.
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs. In layman's terms, the heavens and the earth look at all things the same, not to whom is particularly good, not to whom is particularly bad, everything goes naturally. Life, old age, illness and death are the only way in life, and no one can hide from it. But you can choose how to live your life.
Buddhism has a saying: Everything that has a dharma, such as a dream bubble, such as dew and electricity, should be viewed as such. Generally speaking, all dharmas that arise from causes and conditions are like dreams, like shadows in a bubble, as unfathomable and impermanent as mist. At the same time, it changes as fast as lightning.
Time can't help but say, decades like a white colt through the gap, and when you react, many things have changed, and many people have scattered. Do you remember working last week, but do you remember what happened on the same day last month? You may still be connected to a lot of college classmates, but what about middle school and elementary school classmates? If you don't go through the classmates' records, do you remember who your classmates were when you went to school? What are your table mates doing now? Will she remember you when he passes?
Movies and books can be found from time to time, no matter how many years they are, and the stories of ordinary people are like a grain of sand spilled into the desert, no longer recognizable.
How many families still retain and pass on the family tree and continue to write their genealogy? Even if it's just a name, it means you've ever existed. Even in another hundred years, someone will still point to your name and say that it is your grandfather's grandfather or your grandmother's grandmother.
Lu Yao said in "Ordinary World": How many beautiful things have disappeared and been destroyed, and the world is still like nothing has happened.
